Mark Appleyard is now representing Element Skateboards and Transworld Skateboarding’s Kevin Duffel has the complete interview on how it all went down, including why he left Flip.
I was over it [laughs],” Appleyard said. “I feel like I grew out of it and the team changed so much over the years that I was just like, “this shit ain’t for me anymore,” and I just needed to feel more stoked on the company I ride for, so I had to change it up. . . Yeah it was hard to leave, but it’s a business move. Ya know? If someone’s gonna be your friend, it shouldn’t depend on what company you ride for. I just had to make a power move to benefit myself. I’m really stoked on the choice I made. It was difficult but it had to be done.
Chalk up another win for the Billabong Corporation. Click the link for the entire interview.

For the next two months Walnut Creek, California’s Bedford Gallery is presenting Carrie Lederer’s art show Full Deck: A Short History of Skate Art. The show features more than 400 decks plus other stuff, according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News.
The rolling canvases, each little more than a few feet long and a half-foot wide, are colorful works of Pop art, graffiti art, cartoon art and even fine art. Each deck tells a story about a pro skater, the company that made it and the artist who created the images on it. They can be silly and fun, like the deck by enjoi showing kittens and rainbows on one side of the gallery, or take on the darker tone of Todd Francis’ environmental works for Element Skateboards.
The opening party is from 6 to 8 PM on Thursday July 9, 2009. Sean Cliver will be there signing copies of his book Disposable. The show runs through September 13, 2009.

By clicking the “continue” link at the bottom of this blurb, you will encounter a list of headlines that refer to our topics, namely, skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, fashion, and finally, business. Many of these stories have been read by “The Editors,” and many have not.
The list of headlines style is evidence of the slow evolution of this site and The Editors themselves. Snark has been annoying for nearly a decade (deja vu from last month), and The Editors realized there is no longer any reason to restate what other people have written to make it funnier. Few have time for witty nor funny when it slows the speed of information consumption.
Nothing is getting in the way here. Follow the jump and read the list. If there are brands, people, or topics that interest you, please use the search function in your browser and jump to it straight away. Enjoy.

It’s newsies time. Obviously, this list is overloaded with Olympic content since that’s what snowboarding is up to right now. And Shaun White is the biggest news from Chinaland. Shaun, and the terrible judging. But, oddly, few outlets wrote about that. Censorship? Probably not, but you know the journalists who are visiting China and hope to stay and/or return to the country don’t want to upset the PRC media watchers. Click the link for the list. And get going. This is enough to make it look like you’re working for the rest of the afternoon!
